The following comments come from Bernd Fakesch, General Manager of Nintendo Germany...

On Wii and 3DS this holiday season...

"I think we are very well positioned because both the Wii and Nintendo 3DS have very consumer-friendly prices."


On the recent 3DS sales figures in Japan, post price drop...

"I think last week's sales figures for the 3DS in Japan show what it will be possible for handheld devices to achieve in Germany at Christmas. The numbers from Japan show the huge impact that was possible as a result of the price cut and that's what we're predicting for the German market this Christmas too."


On Wii sales after price drop and leading into the holiday...

"We have seen an enormous increase in sales since then and this gives us another indication of what will happen in the Christmas season."

On the mobile market impacting Nintendo...

"Smartphone games, Apps and downloads do us good by making the overall market -- and I'm talking about Germany -- bigger."
